Best Distro for Linux audio?

<< < (3/5) > >>

Jdunbar:
When doing the setup - I use the USB audio out of the QNAP into the Devialet 120 (a high-end amplifier & DAC).
Within JRiver there is a bunch of audio devices available:
front: card=d20, dev=0 [alsa]
hw: card=d20, dev=0 [alsa]
hw: card=pch, dev=3 [alsa]
hw: card=pch, dev=7 [alsa]
as well as iec958

What is the difference between the above ones and which will provide best (bit-perfect) audio quality?

Jdunbar:
No one got an idea?

mwillems:
Do all of the listed output modes work?  I use the output labelled "front" on my machine; The "front" connotes a hardware 2-channel output which should be bitperfect.  The iec output is probably digital output so is probably not a good choice, but any of the other hardware outputs (that work) should also be bitperfect.   

Awesome Donkey:
hw: card=d20, dev=0 [alsa]

That'd be the one I'd try first.

I would use d20 too but if you want to get a bit more detail on what is going on then

aplay -l will give you a bit more info on what the devices are
there is also http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh which will dump a load of info out
